The International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) is delighted to announce the hire of Laura Sherman as the new IBEX Seminar Manager. IBEX is owned and produced by Professional BoatBuilder magazine as well as the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).
Sherman will work directly with Professional BoatBuilder magazine to manage the seminar series and educational content of IBEX. She has held positions in advertising at Professional BoatBuilder and WoodenBoat magazines since 2004 and as part of the show management team for The WoodenBoat Show since 2007.

“I am thrilled to have Laura Sherman as part of the IBEX team,” said Anne Dunbar, IBEX Show Director.” “She is extremely capable and a pleasure to work with. I am confident that all of our IBEX seminar partners and speakers will enjoy working with her.”
The IBEX Seminar Series is produced by Professional BoatBuilder magazine, along with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), American Boat Builders & Repairers Association (ABBRA), and National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and offers world renowned technical educational seminars to train new shop crew or help seasoned employees improve their skills.
